Well boo to you, it's great being in love, it's the best feeling that human beings ever have. Being connected to someone, that one person in the whole wide world who gets you, who encourages you and supports you through everything this life can throw at you. That's what love is.
I've only ever been in love three time in my life, that's how special and rare love really is (not lust, I've felt that thousands of times (this week alone!! LOL)) and the love I feel now is the strongest and bestest of all (and yes sis, I know bestest isn't a real word, but it just fits!). Jo has done more for me in the last 14 years than ANYONE in my entire life, she has made me feel special, she supports me and cares for me like no-one ever could and I want to take this moment to just tell her how much I really love her,
Jo, you have the most beautiful and amazing spirit, you are more special to me than you will ever know and I love you with every single fibre of my being. I didn't know what a true and deep love was until we got together and I want to take this opportunity to thank you for just being you - you couldn't do or be more to me than who you are now, I just hope I live up to your expectations too.
So, on to this weeks card then. It's a Tilda again and I will make no apologies for that, they are just too special to me. I can't remember where I got the papers from, but I know they were from a cheap stack of 8x8's and the ones I used on this card were all off-cuts. I used a Martha Stewart punch and some nice flowers and hat pins and for the inside I used a heart and scalloped heart nestie. The sentiment came free in a little pack with a craft magazine which I thought I would end up throwing in the bin but turns out there's some lovely little phrases in there. Hope you like this weeks card, take care and see you again soon,
Andy
